T'way Air Resumes December Flights on 'Taipei' Route as Independent Travel Opens

Resumption of Gimpo~Songsan Flights and New Jeju~Taoyuan Service Launch

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] T'way Air announced on the 4th that it will operate the Gimpo~Taipei (Songshan) route four times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun) starting from the 16th of next month. This marks the resumption of flights after 2 years and 10 months since the suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic in February 2020.

This route has been popular since T'way Air launched it in April 2012, thanks to the convenient urban accessibility of both departure and arrival airports.

On the 24th of next month, T'way Air will newly launch the Jeju~Taipei (Taoyuan) route, operating twice a week (Wed, Sat) from the 24th of next month, and four times a week (Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat) starting January 3rd next year.

The Gimpo~Taipei (Songshan) route departs Gimpo Airport at 11:10 AM and arrives at Songshan Airport at 1:00 PM, then departs Songshan Airport at 2:00 PM and arrives at Gimpo Airport at 5:20 PM.

The Jeju~Taipei (Taoyuan) route departs Jeju Airport at 12:00 PM and arrives at Taoyuan Airport at 12:55 PM, then departs Taoyuan Airport at 1:55 PM and arrives in Jeju at 5:10 PM. The flight schedules are based on local time and may be subject to change due to licensing circumstances.

Tickets for the Taipei routes can be booked via the T'way Air website, mobile app, and web. Starting from the 10th of this month, a promotional event will be held to celebrate the launch of the Jeju~Taipei (Taoyuan) route.

Taiwan fully reopened its borders for the first time since the pandemic on the 13th of last month and is welcoming tourists. Travelers can visit visa-free without quarantine by presenting a negative COVID-19 test and vaccination certificate. However, travelers are required to self-monitor their health using self-diagnostic kits distributed at the airport.

T'way Air plans to resume the suspended Daegu~Taipei (Taoyuan) and Incheon~Kaohsiung routes and will also newly launch the Gimpo~Kaohsiung route, for which it was allocated traffic rights in May 2020.

A T'way Air official stated, “We recommend traveling to Taipei, which reopens after about three years, to enjoy diverse trips in cool weather without cold winters.” He added, “We will continue to expand air routes by resuming and launching new flights so that customers can enjoy overseas travel more conveniently.”
